No discussion on FPGA design is complete without addressing the issues associated with transferring signals that are not synchronized to the clock into clocked logic. While this should be a digital ...

In a nod to history, the digital clock’s seconds indicator incorporates the British railway system’s renowned double arrow ...

To many engineers, clock selection involves nothing more than identifying a clock that will generate the necessary frequency or frequencies/output format, including it in the design, and moving on.

High-performance computing (HPC) applications require IC designs with maximum performance. However, as process technology advances, achieving high performance has become increasingly challenging.

Physicists have demonstrated a compact atomic clock design that relies on cold rubidium atoms instead of the usual hot atoms, a switch that promises improved precision and stability. Physicists at the ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

Yesterday’s SoCs are today’s blocks and sub-chips. The resultant combination of interfaces, protocols and performance objectives regularly results in many clock domains on a single chip. Often, this ...

The Material Design team has an interesting blog post into what it calls the “24-hour Clock Design Challenge” that chronicles Google’s work creating a time picker for those that use a 24-hour format ...

If you’re into science and neat gadgets, maybe the Ferrofluid Clock from MTR Designs is the thing for you, as it manages to combine both into an elegant and unique timepiece that’s bound to become the ...

It was supposed to be an iconic landmark that would lure people to the new Amtrak station being built in Tacoma. Instead, plans for a clock tower at Freighthouse Square are falling flat before ...
